I have a brother-in-law that retired as a teacher and years
ago we had conversation about kids staying in school. I was of the belief that kids should have to
stay in school while here a teacher said that kids should be allowed to drop
out. I was dumbfounded I didn’t understand,
here someone whose job it is to mold and shape minds said that if you want to
drop, drop. It made no sense to me,
until he explained it to me, then the light came on and now I agree. He explained to me if you don’t want to be somewhere
let’s say a classroom and everyone else wants to be there, what are you doing? You are being disruptive and causing other
around you to not learn, right? So this
is how my brother-in-law changed my way of thinking when it comes to staying in
school. With that being said, Wisconsin graduation
rates are rising and local rates are high than the statewide average, Holmen
and Onalaska have rates close to 97% and LaCrosse graduation rates are about
91%. Personally I don’t think if hurts
to never stop learning.
